[stuff about it being ok to put keyboard under water deleted]

Well, I tried this, and currently have a clean but nonfunctional keyboard to
show for it.  Basically, the keyboard sends out just a continuous stream of
m's or some other letter.  It does respond to reset, as well as shift and
control, though not any non-modifier keys.

If I unplug the keyboard after it's started putting out m's, it keeps on
doing it; if I boot up w/ no keyboard I don't get any.

Any suggestions?  Keyboard, keyboard encoder, ADB chip on motherboard?
Thanks for any help.

Henry

(P.S. The self-test gives no error messages.  ROM 1 gs.)
